Digital trust is here, how can your organization benefit?
The digital economy has arrived in Canada. The challenge is that not all of our critical economic tools have made the digital switch. Specifically, our identification, credential, permit and certification documents are stuck in the physical world. As a result, a wide range of transactions cannot be completed fully online.
At the core of these transactions is being able to issue trusted digital documents (e.g. driver’s licenses, permits etc.) and using them from high-value sensitive transactions (e.g. applying for loans, renting or buying a home) to more mundane but identity-dependent transactions (e.g. purchasing alcohol, renting a car or a vacation property etc.).
What they all have in common is the need for convenient, privacy respecting and secure trusted identity and credential documents.
Getting started in the digital identity and credential space can be hard
There is a lack of digital identity and credential talent in our labour force, best practices are still emerging, and it can be challenging to know where your gaps are as an organization to start a digital identity or credential program. As a neutral non-profit with a breadth of knowledge and a broad collaborator and member network, we are in a unique position to help with those very first steps.
